At HemptOn-Green Fair, in Norfdlk, which commenced on Thursday, there was a smaller show of Beasts than has been exhibited for many years. The drovers complain of the increased price which they are obliged to give to breeders in the North, and consequently they are competent to ask higher Sums of the graziers.

On Friday more than 2000 head of Cattle were disposed of. The prices have been not iess than from tis. to 75. per stone. St. Columb Fair, on Thursday last, produced a very large show of Sheep, and those which were .sold fetched good prices, as did the Cattle. Andover Sheep Fair was held on Friday last. The Pens presented the appearance of an ample supply, a very large number being brought for sale. The pur chasers were, however, so numerous and spirited, that the whole were sold at an early hour, full 15s. per head dearer than last year, and many who wish ed to purchase were disappointed.

WooncocKs, &c.—There can be no doubt but thata very great portion of the woodcocks, snipes, .plovers, starlings, and such other bird as migrate to the Southward, in the winter season, are lost in the vast Atlantic Ocean. They generally rravel before the storm, and frequently kuyidst the obscurity of dawn, and snow showers. At these times, wood cocks abound on the Scilly .Islands, and near the Litard 'and Land's End; the extreme Southern and Western Capes of Cornwall ; where; such as ap proach before they are quite spent, like Noah's dove, 'find rest from the oceans of water and air; and such as cannot reach the shore, frequently drop, exhausted with 'fatigue, upon such ships as they happen to discover. There are few vessels from the Atlantic, which, upon approaching the coast at this season, are not visited by these lorlorn voyagers ; while great numbers of others are seen—(yet, how small a portion of the whole can ever be seen !) passing in foul weather ' to the Southward and Westward, where an ocean, too vast for the strongest wing to pass over, must inevitably rwc•al low them up. . S/NOULAR WILL.--WILLIAM JONES, a native of Gower, in Glamorganshire, quitted that part of the country about 50 years ago. to avoid the grasp of the parish officers, for multiplying the King's sub- • jets, contrary to the statute of " Good Queen Bess." He went to London, and afterwards embarked in the wine and spirit trade, which he carried on with so much success, as to accumulate a fortune of up wards of half a million. He died a few months Lisince, leaving his four, executors ‘.:0001. each ; he —bequeathed all. his freehold property to several parishes in the vicinity of the metropolis ; gave le gacies of 50001. and 10,0001. to a number of !fiends ; and generously direaed that such of his relations as might .

EDITOR, • At a time, when . ‘se have all, been congratulating each other on the commencement of the fiftieth year of our venerable Sovereign's reign, your readers will doubtless find pleasure in-the following passages from the letters of Miss Talbot upon the subject of his chara6ter• in early youth. • The anecdote, related in the first of them may be covsidered as told upon , the best authority, Miss Talbot having been 'cog acquainted with the then Bishop.of Norwich, his Majesty's Preceptor. The charaaler, given in the other, was doubtless drawn from the representations of persons of high rank, for amongst such Miss Tat- bot - passed her life ; •perhaps, from those of Arch bishop Seeker, with whom she and her mother re sided.

He applauded the resolution and firmness of Colonel Kotitiowski; and the rapid movements of General Chlonecki._ " On the 16th the garrison of MegUinenza,twhich had been repulsed on the'pth and 10th, at Flaw, by Col. Boquelle, sent a reconnoitring party towards Candasnos. On the saute day 1400 men reinoe , l from Batea towards Caspe, where Col. Depeyrout was at the head of the first battalion of the 115th, and took at first a position near the Capuchins. The Col. confident of the superiority which French aoldiers al ways have, when determined, over troops of the ene - - my, even though more numerous, did not hei,itate to attack them immediately with vigour. His com pany of grenadiers, who were ordered to advance, were found sufficient to seize the position, to thro [',the enemy into confusion, and force ilnon to shameful flight, after having lost seventy tt killed, and several prisoners, among whom w Lan officer: We had seven men killed, 'and to 1, wounded. Colonel Dupeyronx had his leg pierced With a ball, but fortunately without any fraaure ; and the comtwandor in Chief hopes that this gallall officer will very soon be restored to his soldiers, by whom he is loved and revered as a father. The Commander in Chief feels much pleasure in git-;og a • this just tesiithony to his gallant conduct. His are:. nndiers covered themselves with glory. This exam= pie furnishes to the army a new proof ofthewea4ess of those armed bands who dare make war on the soldiers of - NapOleon, and who can do nothing; but basely fly the moment one waits for them, or marches against them with confidence. " On the 12th, the Adjutant-Commandant Plique again entered Saragossa with his column, after havirig entirely executed the mission that had been entrusted to him, of disarming and reducing to submission the low pal is of Upper . Arragon, of cl4aring and reducing the Cineo of Valles, of restoring the con tributions, and effecting the due execution of the Decrees of the King in all these countries, till now either only partially subdued, or in a state of rebellion. Ihe battalion of the filth light in fantry, who _ did themselves so • much credit at the capture of St. Jean de la, Penna, and that of the Goth, so often distinguished by its intrepidity, gave proofs on this occasion of constancy in bearing tigue, and of discipi.ne and high spirit.

" I think you will be pleased with the Bishop of " Norwich's manner of addressing himself to this " little Prince of Wales, one • of the first times he " was with him. , He asked whether, if he was " setting out on a journey, he should like to gallop a " a very little way at first, and have all the rest rug " ged, intricate, and tedious, or to get over some " few difliculties at first, and gallop swiftly and " smoothly all the rest of the way ?

However, a claim of sixpence per pound on the part of the Usher was preferred ; but the Lord Chancellor finally- disallowed the claim of poundage, and dire&ed that Lord Powerscourt and his family should receive the entire stun of 15,0001. without any dedudiou whatever. - - It. was observed, that the entire business of paying and receiving the suitor's money has been, for seve ral years, transatled solely by the Accountant-Gene ral, and that the Usher's claims of potindage are be come a very heavy public tax, and were exclaimed against by Lord Redesdale, whilst Chancellor of Ire land.
